At the same time, we must let everyone in the village know Chen Yong’s true identity to prevent others from being harmed.”
Xiao Cui looked at Xu Qinghe gratefully and held her hand. "Qinghe, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for your wit and carefulness, I would still be in the dark and almost jumped into the fire pit."
Xu Qinghe smiled and shook her hand back, comforting her, "Xiao Cui, we are sisters. Your business is my business. No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, remember that I am by your side. Get a good rest tonight, and starting tomorrow, we will face it together."
As night fell, the lights in the Jian family were warm, and the Zhang family gradually calmed down amid the tense atmosphere of discussing countermeasures.
Xu Qinghe returned home with mixed feelings.
She knew very well that although Chen Yong's true face was exposed, this was only the beginning. How to ensure that Xiao Cui's reputation was not damaged and how to handle the relationship between the two families in the future were issues that needed to be considered urgently.
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist, Xu Qinghe and Zhang Bing set out together on the road to Chen's house.
On the way to the village, the two were silent, each of them thinking about the upcoming conversation.
Xu Qinghe prayed secretly, hoping that everything could be resolved smoothly and give Xiao Cui a peaceful future.
When he arrived at Chen's house, Zhang Bing took a deep breath, straightened his back, and knocked on the door.
The door creaked open. Facing the Chen family's questions, Zhang Bing spoke calmly and told them everything Xu Qinghe had seen yesterday. The Chen family fell into chaos and embarrassment for a moment.
Xu Qinghe stood aside with a firm gaze. At this moment, she was not only fighting for the happiness of her friend, but also upholding a concept of marriage based on sincerity and respect.
In this small village, a storm was quietly calmed down because of her courage and wisdom, and she also set an example for young people who came after her to have the courage to face and solve problems.
The inexplicable anger in Xiao Cui's mother's heart was entirely due to the trap set by her own relatives and had nothing to do with Xu Qinghe.
Xu Qinghe offered help purely out of concern for Xiao Cui. Regardless of the success or failure of the marriage, she would remain calm and not get involved.
The Zhang family should always remember and be grateful for this kindness that transcends their own interests.
"That's right, we can't let this go hastily. Tomorrow we'll go to the Chen Yong family and demand an explanation. If they can't even explain the most basic principles, then our relationship as relatives will end!"
Zhang Bing's tone was filled with unquestionable determination, and anger was gathered between his brows.
His thoughts couldn't help but drift away, and he secretly thanked Xu Qinghe for his warning. Otherwise, if he had foolishly pushed his daughter into the fire pit, Xiao Cui's future would probably be bleak. Thinking of this, his heart ached even more.
Xiao Cui's mother deeply agreed with this, and the determination in her eyes showed her position that she would never allow anyone to pass off inferior products as good ones and take advantage of her daughter Xiao Cui's innocence and kindness.
She believed that only by visiting them in person could she completely shatter the fantasies of those who looked down on her and her daughter and tried to profit from it.
Xu Qinghe was relieved to see the Zhang family elders' resolute attitude. A warm smile played on his face. "Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, if you really want to go to Chen Yong's house to get to the bottom of this, I suggest you go to the woman's residence in the city first to investigate. Once you have solid evidence, then you can go and negotiate. Your words will naturally carry much more weight."
She changed the subject and reminded him, "More importantly, if we don't have solid evidence, they're very likely to deny it outright, or even turn the tables and frame Xiao Cui. By then, even if we're right, it'll be hard to refute it clearly."
When the Zhang family heard this, they woke up as if from a dream. They had never considered this risk before, and they all nodded in agreement.
"Qinghe is so thoughtful, no wonder he's able to lead our village to prosperity! Without further ado, let's head into the city now, find out the situation, and then go to the Chen family to seek justice!"
Xiao Cui's mother immediately began to prepare for departure. Zhang Bing also felt that this matter should be dealt with as soon as possible. It would be best to expose Chen Yong's behavior on the spot while he was still in the woman's house. In this way, the problem would be solved much more smoothly.
As for subsequent developments, Xu Qinghe chose to retreat behind the scenes. She had done her best, and the rest depended on how the Zhang family responded.
After this incident, Xiao Cui and Chen Yong's marriage came to nothing, but for Xiao Cui, perhaps this was the turning point that changed her destiny and led her to a happy life.
After returning home, Xu Qinghe first cooked some fragrant rice and waited for her grandmother to come back, thinking about how to tell her what happened to Xiao Cui.
"Xiao Cui is a kind and virtuous girl. She shouldn't have her future ruined by someone like this!"
Qin Chunmei shook her head and sighed, then continued, "I say, a truly good man should stay in our village. The conditions in the village are pretty good now. If you find a young man who knows you well, it will be convenient for Xiao Cui to return to her parents' home in the future. How great!"
Under the leadership of Xu Qinghe, Fengtai Village has been completely transformed. The pockets of every household have become fatter, and the living standards have improved by leaps and bounds, far surpassing the surrounding villages.
Any villager who goes out can be considered a wealthy family in the neighboring villages.
If Xiao Cui is married off easily, the loss will be huge.
Xu Qinghe nodded silently, agreeing with this point of view.
Marriage is a serious matter and should not be taken lightly. Xiao Cui suffered a loss this time and will definitely be more cautious when choosing a partner in the future. Careful consideration is the right thing to do.
The topic naturally turned to Yin Yunjie.
Qin Chunmei was a little puzzled. In the past, Yin Yunjie always sent letters home every now and then, but there was no news from him recently. She thought that the couple had a conflict.
"When a couple lives together, there are bound to be some bumps and bruises, but you shouldn't take it too seriously. As a man, you should always give him enough face and coax him more."
Qin Chunmei added, "I've never seen a better kid like Yin Yunjie among the younger generation. He's smart, motivated, and so considerate to you. You'd be hard-pressed to find another like him. You'd better not let him down!"
The old man sincerely felt that if he missed a good young man like Yin Yunjie, he would regret it in the future. He had to seize the opportunity to marry his granddaughter to him at all costs.
Xu Qinghe looked at her grandmother's serious expression and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Grandma, don't laugh, I'm serious!"
Qin Chunmei felt a little shy because of her granddaughter's laughter and gently patted the back of Xu Qinghe's hand.
"Don't worry, grandma. I have a plan. Yin Yunjie is really good, and I'm devoted to him. If there's anything good at home, I'll think of sending it to him, right?"
She continued to explain, "As for the fact that he hasn't written to me recently, it's not because we had a disagreement, but because he was sent out on a mission. I mentioned it in my previous letter, but I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry."
"He said he would call me when he completed the task, so we should wait patiently for his news."
Xu Qinghe's words made Qin Chunmei feel relieved, but then she started to worry again: "It's dangerous to carry out a mission, and I don't know when I can come back. Next time you go to the city, remember to buy some good meat and make it into jerky for him.
